{"product_id":"whitehorse-helene-dobrowolsky-9780991858866","title":"Whitehorse: An Illustrated History","description":"\u003ci\u003eWhitehorse\u003c\/i\u003e traces the storied past of Yukon's capital city, from its origins in ancient aboriginal camps through the epic changes of the Klondike Gold Rush, the building of the Alaska Highway, and the settlement of First Nations land claims. Set amidst rolling mountains on the edge of the Yukon River's swift green waters, the city today blends aboriginal traditions with the tastes, music, and cultures of people from around the world. Yukon authors Helene Dobrowolsky and Linda Johnson headed up a talented team of writers and researchers to create this portrait of a legendary place. From its early days, Whitehorse was Yukon's transportation hub, linking the Pacific with trails, then rails, then the elegant sternwheelers that steamed downriver to Dawson City until highways and air travel took their place. The town hosted a dazzling parade of people over the centuries, many of whom appear in these pages: hunters, traders, gold-seekers, soldiers, miners, ships' captains, entrepreneurs, dog-mushers, storytellers, sports icons, politicians, community builders, adventurers, and artists. Filled with lively writing, colorful anecdotes, and an impressive array of contemporary and archival photos, \u003ci\u003eWhitehorse\u003c\/i\u003e celebrates the history of a very special place.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Helene Dobrowolsky, Linda Johnson\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0991858867\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780991858866\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Figure 1 Publishing\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/06\/2014\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 356\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 3.65lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 11.00h x 9.10w x 1.20d","brand":"Helene Dobrowolsky","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44072900559103,"sku":"9780991858866","price":50.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_1f349881-0b78-4e26-adc4-c4c5fdf09b09.jpg?v=1685444605","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/whitehorse-helene-dobrowolsky-9780991858866","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
